how to pass variable to updated page?

lusun

I am working on a dynamic webpage. It collects answers
from the user and then decide what to show them on the
next display. I need some calculation of the answers to
get the decision, so how to pass the decision to the new
page that has the same form but different display data?

What do you have so far?

I have got the users' answer passed to php, and the calculation and decision stuff is easy. But how can I pass the decision to the next page?
A simple example: if you can read the number 1~10 correctly, I will give you 10~100 to read.
Now I know how my users can read the 1~10 numbers, and decide to give them harder ones. How can my webpage know this decision? And the next display is on the same webpage.
Thanks!

If you're using FORMS on each page, continue passing the values through:

This can be created through an "if" statement in PHP...

Another option is to use PHP Sessions.

thanks! But can I also pass a numerical array in this way?

lusun

Yes, I have figured out how to do this:
foreach ($myarray as $thisnum){
echo '<input type = "hidden" name = "topass[]" value = "'.$thisnum.'">';
}
And to retrieve the array, $_POST['topass']

As to session, I'll try that later~
Thank you all.
